Robert Piguet Bois Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Aurélien Guichard. Bois Noir opens with Cedar and Guaiac Wood, settles into a heart of Sandalwood and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Musk, Resin, and Labdanum. Robert Piguet's Bois Noir carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Bois Noir is a divisive, woody beast - a sophisticated autumn walk in a bottle for some, an acrid, headache-inducing pencil shaving for others. Try before you buy, but if the dark woods speak to you, it's a stellar, unique choice.

About

Step into a deep, dark forest where the air is thick with the scent of guaiac wood and cedar, leading to a heart of creamy sandalwood and earthy patchouli. The journey culminates in a resinous, balsamic drydown with hints of musk, creating a smoky, almost tar-like warmth. It's a journey through polished woods, incense, and ancient resins, creating a profoundly atmospheric experience.
